Stocks decline as yields, dollar rise amid global demand worries

NEW YORK, Sept 5 - World stock indexes eased and the U.S. dollar rose on Tuesday as economic data in China and Europe fueled worries about slowing global growth.

A private-sector survey showed on Tuesday that China's services activity expanded at the slowest pace in eight months in August as weak demand continued to dog the world's second-largest economy. "Worries are on the rise about a China and Europe-led slowdown in global growth. As a result the dollar is catching a solid safe haven bid," said Joe Manimbo, senior market analyst at Convera, in Washington.

The pan-European STOXX 600 index lost 0.23% and MSCI's gauge of stocks across the globe shed 0.40%.
